Seems that Gilligan's Island creator Sherwood Schwartz is co-producing a new reality (what else?) version called "The Real Gilligan's Island", to premiere in late November on TBS. The contestants will have the identities of the original cast members (millionaire and his wife, etc.) and be put "in situations from the original series as they compete to be rescued". Wonder if they'll do the sinking life raft bit (clothed) from one of the early episodes. If they do it at all, the women will probably be wearing bikinis or some BS like that. Read Bob Denver's opinion of it here:

I'm not optimistic that this will be a source of any meaningful wetlook (although I could be wrong). Seems to me it's just another reality series, this time trying to play off the Gilligan's Island name. In no case can it live up to the cult status of the original. One big difference this time around is there'll be hidden cameras in the huts, so now we'll know what Gilligan and Mary Ann are REALLY doing in those huts.
